While every house in Slovenia has a civic address, many houses also carry a household name. These names are how other people typically referred to that family. This house has the name of Miko\u010di. This name is likely derived from the name of the patriarch or of the man who originally inhabited this house, Miko or Niko.<\/p>\n
Through the period of our studies, we have found seven houses which originally carried the \u017dagar surname in Damelj<\/a>. This is the sixth of the seven houses (in order of house address). The \u017dagar surname is a common surname found in many parts of Slovenia and not particularly unique to Damelj<\/a> or this region.<\/p>\n The oldest record we have found to date for a person from this house is for Miha \u017dagar b. 1776. He married Katarina Lukani\u010d b. 1778. Together, they had at least 7 children, including:<\/p>\n 1A. Jurij \u017dagar b. 1801. At this time, it is unknown what happened to him afterwards.<\/p>\n 1B. Nikolaj \u017dagar b. 1802, m. ca. 1834 to Ana \u017dagar (Lovre\u010dova<\/a>)1<\/sup> — they remained at this house.<\/p>\n 1C. Ana \u017dagar b. 1809, m. ca. 1836 to Johan \u017dagar (Lovre\u010dov<\/a>)1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n 1D. Katarina \u017dagar b. 1813. At this time, it is unknown what happened to her afterwards.<\/p>\n 1E. Lucija \u017dagar b. 1816, died at the age of 57. At this time, it is unknown if she was ever married or had children.<\/p>\n 1F. Margareta \u017dagar b. 1820 m. ca. 1844 to Johan Filip (\u0160o\u0161tarov<\/a>).<\/p>\n 1. Johan \u017dagar and Ana \u017dagar were siblings.<\/em><\/sup><\/p>\n Nikolaj \u017dagar [1B] and his wife Ana \u017dagar had 7 children, including:<\/p>\n 2A. Ana \u017dagar b. 1835, m. ca. 1857 to Matija \u0160nelar (Canjarov<\/a>).<\/p>\n
